3.4. Serial Console Ports
The serial console port on the CM provides access to the boot-time control and configuration menu
interface. Both the CM serial console port and the one on the front panel of the RX5000 chassis
provide a console interface to the ROX™ operating system.
The serial ports implement RS232 DCE on a female DB9 connector. Serial settings are: 57600 bps,
8 bits, No parity, 1 stop bit. The pin assignment of both console ports is given in the Table 3.3, “Serial
Console Pinout” table.
